I’m using putty from my win local machine to connect to the server, and so far what I’ve done is simply selecting text from putty terminal and pasting it into a text editor on my local machine and after editing I just paste it back to nano on the server. I could do that because all the text files I was editing were pretty short, but this config that I want to edit is longer, so I would need to scroll to select all the text from the nano, but that is not possible from the putty (as far as I know), and copying within nano doesnt seem to share the clipboard from server to local machine.

So I’m looking for a better way to do it, but something simple, quick and dirty.

    Yeah remote is Linux.
    Thanks, that works, and it’s pretty easy. Also I just found out that Putty comes with scp (pscp), so that’s pretty neat too.
